Qualifications
Trained in Ireland for over 5 years and gained vast amounts of knowledge threw trainers there. I also have been through various training courses of BHS standard and more. I have also trained with members of the Irish Army Equitation School and many other international riders. The list is quite long however, I would love to have the opportunity to meet and share some of the experiences with you.
Documents
Duties of Current Occupation
I was running a 125 acre show jumping yard with borders and also competing at the grand prix level. In addition I am also giving lessons and training young horses. I also take and train students to go to horse shows nationally and abroad.
Equine Work Experience
I spent 7 years in Ireland training and competing. I was the first African American to represent the United States as a senior rider in an international show while living there. In the States I have been on the grand prix circuit and have had numerous placings at the top. I coached the University of Mass at Dartmouth for one season and brought the team to their highest placing since the team was founded. There is allot more but that would take quite some time:) In addition I have great equine ties with world renowned trainers and athletes.
Specialities
I have allot of areas which I can be very beneficial. I have started farms for people and got them up and running, to working with sale horses. In addition, I have broken horses when needed and worked with them all the way to the grand prix level. I also have experience with eventing as well as Dressage. Last but not least I have also run and trained Mounted Unit's for law enforcement agencies.
Type of Ride Work
The type of ride work I am looking for is that of head trainer, or assistant trainer for a show jumping or private farm with multiple disaplins. I can also run riding schools or lesson barns as needed. The ability to also work with and ride sale horses at home and at shows would be a plus. I am a grand prix rider, so to be able to maintain that is also a plus if it is available. However I can be a great asset to any farm or yard that needs a mature and very experienced individual.
Competition Details
I have been competing at all the levels in the jumper ring,in the United States and abroad. For more details please do not hesitate to ask. The list is a bit to long to put on here. You can look up some information about me as well if you Google my entire name.
